Sporting KC 2-0 RSL (Reserves)

As I tweeted earlier today, the Sporting KC reserves defeated Real Salt Lake 2-0 in Central/Mountain Conference action. Chance Myers scored twice in the first half to lead what looked like a complete team effort, especially defensively, as evidenced by the shutout. I spoke with defender Matt Besler after the game and he said the team played well as a whole. Besler wore the captain's armband for the first time and played well.

Also, as promised, here are a few pics from today's game.
